I have the same problems. It doesn't automatically authenticate, even though I have my samba password set up in my keyring (i.e., for browsing files). And OO has the checkbox to remember, while gedit does not.
In contrast to Matt's url, I am using smb://WORKGROUP/.../LaserJet. So maybe this affects workgroups and not Windows domains?
